So, the last statement, is it your personal view or reflecting the general view of Saadet Party’s electoral base, if I may ask?

Please see my edited previous post with references from professors of Turkish constitution.

@dBSPL ”If Kılıçdaroğlu wins, the mayors of Istanbul and Ankara will leave their posts.” Is this just in, because CHP had told that they wouldn’t have to resign their posts? EDIT: Nope. They don’t need to resign their mayoral posts according to various professors of constitutional law. Turns...

Again, it is ”operation face save”. If she can sell this to her followers as their candidates were “selected” as candidates, fine. It’s not that those two will run on separate vice president tickets. It’s purely honorary, if you will.

Nice. Here’s what I envision for Turkey: Restore parliamentary system and separate executive power, legislation and last but not least make the judiciary as never been independent in republic’s history. I, personally, don’t care much for ideologies on political spectrum. Trust me, a decent...

After HDP’s unconditional support offer together with possibility of other parties on the left joining the coalition over the weekend, I would really like to see how this rapprochement attempt will end up my self.

This is nothing more than “operation save face” tbh. If Aksener wanna sell her party and electorates and works for everyone, why not. And turns out, those mayors are not to resign their posts after they’re appointed to those new posts.

Dear @contricusc, It is very clear that you have no form of formal education on political science or any critical thinking experience to establish any independent and meaningful opinion of yours. I strongly recommend you give another try at debate team of your high school and if you fail again...

You are right. Our cargo fleet far from enough for quite a while now even on a daily mission capacity, let alone in a catastrophic situation. In fact, Before the earthquakes, the major multiple arms deal packages between Turkey and Britain were on the table and the acquisition of C-130J (around...

If the admins find it plausible, I think the time has come to change the title of this thread. As it is, it still reads like a news flash and as if the topic hasn’t evolved or not frequented by contributors. Not a big issue but just wanted to bring to your attention. Thanks.

The Great Dictator deepfake! Awesome find bro :ROFLMAO:

Hmm.. I think I will stick to my midye dolma proper. Adequately cooled down and taste set in over night 👅 And yes, Aaaah Istanbul 🫠

Sounds like a highly cherished local delicacy. However, There’s a limit to my courage and adventurous spirit. I eat raw fish, no problem 😉, but living organism crawling, twirling on my plate, no way 😅 edit: bring that baby octopus 🐙 dead and cooked in any form, I’ll show him who’s the boss...

I’m a proud sea food guy. And as a rule of thumbs, I don’t discriminate. Bring me Sand, Red Shore, Spider crab and whatever you can throw at me, I’ll devour them 😋 I’m a firm believer in sea food lovers golden motto: *”Denizden babam çıksa yerim” . Sorry dad 🤪 * Roughly translates as “I’ll eat...

Bu ülke demokrasiyi ucundan ufak ufak denemeye başladığı meşrûtiyetin ilanından beri sansürle yaşıyor. Yaşım icabı 80’leri hatırladığımdan, bildiğim birkaç vaka var, sıkıyönetim ile başlayan ve 83’den sonra özel hayata dair uygulanan. Sansürü bu kadar bezdirici kılan sinsiliği. Arayın, hiçbir...

And yet the US officially linked those two separate things together. CAATSA implemented due to consistent neglecting the US official warning on many political levels (or threats, according to some) by Turkey against her acquisition of S400. Afterwards, the latter was given her marching orders...

“CAATSA sanctions against Turkey were activated for the purchase and then delivery of the S-400.“ and I had said “on the grounds of a NATO F35 operator using a Russian equipment at the same time and it would have brought a huge risk for the US and the NATO.” What am I missing here? And yes...

“With the Americans signaling they're willing to sell F-35's to India (a nation who uses the S400 complex)” If this turns out to be true and the sale goes through, then Turkey really might have a case. But we also must always keep this in mind that the CAATSA was activated on the grounds of a...

Here’s my take on censorship. It is a tool of oppressive governments or any governing bodies. It is biased toward dogmas. It is biased against facts, truth, science together with art and most forms of creativity. It is disguised as a safety measure for the welfare of the people and state for...
